BEDFORD, N.H. — Gov. Chris Christie says Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is “a good man” and voiced support for his fellow Republican, who faces allegations he took part in a nationwide criminal scheme to coordinate fundraising with conservative groups.

Christie defended Scott Walker this evening after greeting patrons of a New Hampshire restaurant during a campaign stop for a Republican gubernatorial hopeful. Christie dismissed the allegations against Walker, a potential GOPpresidential candidate, as nothing more than attacks from enemies.

“Listen, we all understand that the more you try to bring change to your individual state, and that change starts to sweep the country, the more you’re going to be attacked by your opponents,” said Christie, a potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate.

“That’s just something you’re going to have to deal with in this job,” he said. “But I’ve already communicated with Scott today, he’s doing well. I completely support him and I look forward to going to Wisconsin and campaigning for him at the appropriate time.”

No charges have been filed against Walker, but prosecutors disclosed publicly earlier this week in court documents filed in December that Walker and members of his staff discussed illegal fundraising and coordination with national political groups.

However, Christie said he has “complete faith and confidence” in Walker.

“He has been a friend and colleague of mine since 2010,” he said. “I went out and vigorously campaigned for him during 2010 to help him get elected [and] I went out there and campaigned hard for him during the recall. I’m proud of all the work I’ve done for Scott. I believe he’s got great integrity, he’s a good man.”
